Week 3 Group 5 Number the Stars AISD

During chapter 14 and 15, two german soldiers stopped Annemarie from taking the package to Uncle Henrick. What might the importance of this package be in the context of the story and how does the author use this incident to build suspense?

If you were Annemarie, how would you be feeling at this stage and why? Use evidence from the text to support your ideas.

    The package is important because it has cocaine to numb the dogs sense of smell. There is rabbit blood so the dogs want to smell it. The author creates suspense by making you think that she is not going to be able to deliver the package. If I was Annemarie, I would feel intimidated by the Nazis because I saw them hit my mom and be so cruel to Ellen and the rest of the Jewish community.
